{♚}—; Titan was glad that Todor was great at taking care of the Ice Caverns, he was very efficient when it came to the area down there with no Gnorc making it past him all this time. But hearing that the one that Todor had developed feelings for was in fact Marco, a smile appeared on the leader’s face.
He knew much about the dragons that he led, and he knew just how kind and generous Marco could be and it was very much like him to look out for others, it fit with what Todor told him. “I’m so happy to hear that the two of you have each other! He’s someone that I know will continue to look out for you.”
Though he didn’t expect Todor to feel as if he may be inadequate and that he may not deserve Marco, it surprised him to hear that. “You aren’t sure that you do? But why? Is there something bothering you that is making feel this way?”
Todor almost immediately shrunk in front of Titan, his serpentine body coiling into itself to appear smaller as he’d just keep his head low, gaze averting his leader as he’d rub his own arm in a nervous manner. “I-I just... I think he deserves better, Titan... I-I mean...”
“Look at me, Titan. Really, look at me. What am I known for, more than anything?” he’d ask, letting the question linger in the air for a minute. And it was a silent, almost painfully so, minute of just silence, before he spoke again. “That’s right, Titan... I-I can be a hell of a braggart. I can boast and proclaim for days on end ‘till ears start bleeding. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the Peace Keepers knew of my archery skills SOLELY because of my big mouth!” a bit of an outburst at the end, but he’d slow his breathing to relax.
“I boast about my archery... about my fighting prowess... about how I’d be able to shoot a wart off of a Gnorc’s nose whilst flying upside-down from a mile away. And I... only now do I realize that... that’s exactly what my lovely Marco doesn’t have anymore...” his voice cracks a bit as he speaks of Marco, tears threatening to emerge.
“He’s... He’s lost all of that, Titan. His wings... his fighting spirit... he doesn’t have it anymore. And yet here I am... strutting around with all of those qualities like a damn peacock... I don’t deserve him, Titan... He should have someone better...”
